Power System Protection and Switchgear: A Comprehensive Guide to the Theory and Practice of Power System Protection
Power system protection is a branch of electrical engineering that deals with the design, operation and maintenance of devices and systems that protect the power system from faults and disturbances. Switchgear is the collective term for the equipment that controls, isolates and protects the power system components.
